• Be sure to set paper roll(s) prior to using your machine, otherwise it may cause a malfunction.
Install the paper roll in the printer. Be careful then to set the roll and cut the paper end correctly.
If the top end of the paper roll is fixed with paste or tape, the paper may lose its color development
ability in the pasted or taped area due to the deterioration of the heat-sensitive color development
component of the paper surface. This may result in nothing appearing at this location when printing
is performed. Therefore, when setting a new paper roll in the machine, be sure to cut off
approximately one revolution (approx. 25 cm long).
